If you care about being able to use your own fax machine without having tons of ink and paper and telephone-line time consumed by advertisers (almost all of whom are dishonest) this is a good time to rattle the cage.
If email spam bothers you, this is 100x worse.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to bombard them with FAXES? :)
So what is the bill number?
If its up for a vote, there should be a number....
Sounds like BULL to me. We already get more spam faxes and legitimate ones.
We get a few of these junk faxes every day. I suprised someone hasn't come up with a low end fax machine with either a small built in screen or a VGA port for a monitor so that I can review faxes before printing them. Just hit delete instead of picking up the "hot stock picks" fax and dropping it directly into the trash can.
One guy retaliated. He found the fax numbers of the junk fax sender. He then took a xerox of his hand -- third finger extended. He than made four copies and taped them end-to-end. He then started the fax to a junk sender at 2AM. As the top of the string emerged from his machine, he taped it to the other end, creating a perpetual fax of The Bird. He named it The Black Finger of Death. When the junker came in the next morning, he had an empty fax machine and 2,000 copies of The Finger. Poetic justice.
How do these "spaxxers" get ahold of fax numbers?
Is there a directory somewhere of phone numbers that are identified as fax numbers?
Have you ever tried this? The reward is supposed to be $500/fax, but you would have to determine whom to sue and go through all the hassles.
